Final Vote Counting Complete for Nepal's Federal Elections; Proportional Representation Results Pending

Kathmandu. The vote counting for both the first-past-the-post and proportional representation (PR) categories of the House of Representatives elections held on Falgun 21 has concluded. While the final results for the direct elections have been made public, the final tally for the proportional representation count is yet to be officially announced.

Election Commission Assistant Spokesperson Kul Bahadur GC informed that as the PR counting concludes, the process of entering all received district election forms into the commission's system is underway.

According to him, the entered forms and the final vote-integrated results will be updated on the commission's website. Following this, the number of seats each political party will secure based on the PR votes will be determined, after which the commission will issue letters to the parties.

“Parties that cross or fail to meet the threshold based on the received votes will be separated, and then seat allocation will occur,” said Assistant Spokesperson GC. “The commission will now focus on this task. If possible, this process will conclude today; otherwise, it might take some time.”

According to the latest PR vote count updated on the commission's website, 10,739,115 votes have been counted. This figure is subject to minor fluctuations upon final compilation.

Based on the statistics currently held by the commission, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has secured 5,139,235 votes.

The Nepali Congress has received 1,749,583 votes, CPN (UML) has received 1,448,854 votes, the Communist Party of Nepal has received 805,753 votes, the Shram Sanskriti Party has received 378,649 votes, and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party has received 329,472 votes.
